Councillor Hughes says “Newton Aycliffe is not on the moon. If some of our young people want to access the UTC, wonderful. “I don’t see a problem with that, if parents want that for their children.”
It is about time she recognizes who pays her over inflated wages, it not the public sector workers, even though they work hard for their money they do not create it. It is the engineers and the factory workers who go to work and make things that create it.
All those workers who she openly sneers at should think hard about voting her in again.

I fully support Councillor Alan Coultas on this. The UTC should have come to Darlington. Councillor Cyndi Hughes in wrong. Young people chose their options for GCSE at 14 so they should be given the chance to chose to take a technical option at the same age? Perhaps the situation can be redeemed by an outreach from the UTC in Darlington to cater for the young people aged 14 and above who want to follow this path. I suppose this will result in Darlington Labour Councillors hiding behind anonymous names attacking me on here.
